[QUOTE="madman, post: 196949, member: 13851"] Keep in mind that it is pointless to compare labs as you did not use the same lab let alone the same assay (most accurate) for FT! 1st set was the piss poor direct immunoassay and the 2nd set was Ultrafiltration (most accurate). As I stated in your previous thread regarding the 1st set of labs your trough TT 1316 ng/dL was absurdly high which had your FT high (using the piss poor direct immunoassay) and it would have most likely been much higher than you think (if you had it tested using the most accurate assays such as ED or UF. With an absurdly high trough TT 1316 ng/dL even with a highish SHBG of 45.2 nmol/L you can rest assured that your FT would be very high! Although you kept your overall weekly dose the same labs are trough levels on 2 different injection frequency protocols twice weekly (every 3.5 days)--->EOD. Your trough TT 907 ng/dL is far from being absurdly high and seeing as your SHBG dropped from 45.2--->29.2 nmol/L your FT is just over the top end. With a high FT your e2 will be higher. Regardless of where your trough TT/FT/e2 levels sit as of now on the new protocol (30 mg T/EOD) if you feel good overall and blood markers are healthy then I would not change a thing. Top it all off that you are only 2 months in on the new protocol and as you should very well know that when tweaking a protocol (dose T/injection frequency) hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels stabilize (4-6 weeks). Even then once blood levels have stabilized it will take another 2-3 months for the body to adapt and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall on such protocol. Dropping the dose now would be a bad move! [B]My SHBG and Total Test went down, which im very happy about [U]since eIve always had sky high SHBG[/U] [/B] Again an SHBG 45.2 nmol/L is far from sky high! [/QUOTE]
